Between 19 BBY and 18 BBY, Rebel Intelligence was formed during the early days of the rebellion against the Galactic Empire, former JediPadawanAhsoka Tano took over command of Intelligence after she was recruited into the rebellion.[2] Intelligence's strategy was to identify and observe emerging resistance cells and determine whether they were competent in disrupting Imperial operations and remaining hidden. SenatorBail Organa regarded it as cruel, but necessary, as the Empire could easily destroy amateur groups and compromise the entire organization Organa and Senator Mon Mothma were attempting to create.[6] During the rescue of Kanan Jarrus between the crew of the Ghost and Phoenix Cell against the Empire, Tano informed the Ghost crew that the strategy had changed.[13]
